From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0 Description of problem: I rely on isapnp to configure an ISA ISDN card. rc.sysinit contains the check "if [ -x /sbin/isapnp -a -f /etc/isapnp.conf -a ! -f /proc/isapnp ] then" ..... run isapnp if $PNP = yes. /proc/isapnp always seems to be there at the time this runs, so my isdn hardware was never configured and the later "isdn start" would fail to find the card. I removed the last term, checking for ! /proc/isapnp and the problem is resolved though I am unclear as to the implications of this or why this has caused no-one else a problem! maybe /proc/isapnp is not normally created at this time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.err start the system?? 2. 3. Additional info:
Running the userland isapnp tools while the kernel mode ISAPnP support (/proc/isapnp) is active can be dangerous in some cases; that's why the check is there.
